My wife and I love to do bike tours. I'm pretty sure that every major city we have visited has involved a bike tour, and while most are very good, some are better than others. Monsieur Bacchus was one of the better ones.
We met Michel at his shop just as the rain left. The rain caused a lot of cancellations, so it ended up just being the 3 of us. Michel was a very gracious host, full of wonderful information about the city and took us to a number of sites, some of which were the famous ones that you'll probably go to anyway, while others were more hidden and places we did not know about.
Biking around Bordeaux is very easy - one of the most bike friendly cities I have ever been to - including many dedicated bike lanes and bicycle friendly streets. Michel makes good use of them to take you around the city in about 3 hours. There wasn't a boring stop on the tour and we had a great time.
I couldn't recommend this more as a great way to get your feel for this beautiful city. read more
